Why do guys marry ugly women?

[HeartIsAching]

I'm thinking that Empty Road hit the nail on the head.

I'm going on a limb here and translate this: "So, I have been noticing many of my female friends who are uglier than me, able to find husbands out of their league. I mean here I am much prettier than they, yet those guys didn't pick me but them. What gives? My personality is just as good. What is wrong with this picture? Are men prejudice against my beauty? I'm understanding; it's not like when I ask people for their opinion I will immediately attack their perspective with some stereotypical arguments taking things out of context and debating the extreme. I'm easy to get along as long as you agreed with me. Heck yea, sometimes I can get a little bitchy but that's because I'm right and they are wrong. Why guy can't see that beauty that is me?"

I don't know why everything has to be about me. I merely just want to discuss this topic and not about me.

I think less attractive chicks are actually easier to fall in love with. Men feel more secure with them. Whereas, men often only lust/infatuated with attractive women and they don't notice other things about her.

fearoflove, what's the point of this thread? People who aren't stereotypically attractive get married to people that are stereotypically attractive, so what?

What is there to discuss? the fact that people can see further than skin deep is hardly news.

Or... maybe they notice that a specific attractive woman is jerk suffering delusions of entitlement based on her looks.

Fearoflove, nobody wants a girlfriend/wife they aren't attracted to. You need to understand that what looks unattractive to you is not what ALL people find unattractive.

I'm a decent looking person that has dated and loved men that others told me weren't 'good looking enough for me' and I never ever understood that. You love who you love. Everyone's definition of attractive is different and it's not necessarily a case of 'like should be with like'. It's such a shallow view. In fact, I've always been attracted to what most people would consider 'weird-looking' guys. I like them because they're different.

I think that the stereotype of very attractive women being shallow princesses is a very scary concept for a lot of men. Does it ring true with every attractive woman? Definitely not. Let's be fair though. A woman who is spending more than an average share of time on her hair, makeup, nails and wardrobe is obviously concerned about her looks which reads to most people as either vain, shallow, or extremely insecure. After awhile, men start to realize it's too much effort for a bit of arm candy.

I think it's also fair to say that emotional attraction can overcome lack of physical attraction - it's happened to me before. However, one does have to get to know the person for this to happen.

Could be they don't find them ugly, only others do. Could be power of love. Hard to tell why someone loves another enough to marry, reasons could be simple or more complicated.

Different people like different things + good looking is just one of the factors that make you fall in love with someone

no idea, had a friend that used to joke he would date hot girls but marry an ugly girl because she would make a better wife and mother and she won't cheat. that guy was and is an idiot, doesn't matter how someone looks there is still the possibility of cheating, and if someone as an idea like he had i bet whoever would cheat on him and leave him, ugly or not.

[michelle23]

In my experience ugly people are insecure, more likely to cheat and can be nastier with a meaner personality and not so good with kids than goodlooking people. I know a lot of good looking people who have great personalities, really kind and genuine.. two of my friends are not stereotypically goodlooking and both have a vicious streak in them. I hope one never has kids coz she would be a terrible mother..
